Arbitration
What is an arbitration attorney?
Sometimes two parties in a dispute want to find a solution that avoids the time, stress and costs of a trial. Businesses often use this form of “alternative dispute resolution” to deal with contractual disputes, but the approach is open to any two or more parties who agree to the terms of the process.
If arbitration is chosen, the parties refer the case to one or more arbitrators who review the evidence and arrive at a decision. Arbitration decisions are legally binding on all parties and enforceable in the courts. Arbitration decisions have limited rights of review and appeal. Mediation, another form of alternative dispute resolution, is generally advisory and nonbinding.
